That is good life advice.

I hammered into my elderly parents that if they ever get a call/text from their “bank”, “tax department”, “insurance”, or literally anything - ask for a case number and hang up. Then call the number listed on the official website.

Now they’re telling everyone they know about it. Good on them.

That’s… two posts

Three, actually. While I agree with you, it is still arguably the number one company that annoys people on that list ʘ‿ʘ

Nothing much. What’s up with you?

You may get a better answer if you follow the suggestion in the comment at the bottom of your source:

The syntax is specific to Perchance, a website that 99% of the general public have never heard of.

I don’t know where you are, but painter’s tape (or masking tape) comes in all sorts of colours. Including white.

The way I normally do it is the following. Strip the sleeve further back than you need (say, an inch). Untwist the 8 cores and separate them.

Arrange them in the right order (the extra length makes this easy) Flatten, pack them together, and pinch with your thumb and forefinger near the base.

Without letting go of the pinch, use your free hand to cut them to the correct length. Now that you have them flat between your fingers in the right order, it should be pretty straightforward to slide them into the connector.

Here’s the announcement from perthchat.org

I can’t believe there’s not more love for Seal in this thread.

Commonwealth maybe?

Edit: wiki references seem to indicate it’s predominantly ANZ

she’ll be right… @lemmy.nz

Checks out.

Not Toyotas

My neighbour was freaking out when she saw in the local newspaper that burglaries in our town had increased by 100%

I pointed out that we had 2 burglaries this year, compared to the 1 last year…

So you’re saying it’s meditation in sheep’s clothing?

Other than desktop pwa, what features do the other browsers have that aren’t available as a Firefox plugin?

It’s literally the only result if you search for “organic”

The og Opera was so good and innovative. Would’ve paid for it (when it was still ad-supported), were I not a poor student at the time.

When they became yet another chromium skin with no soul, I moved fully to FF. Now Vivaldi is my second browser alongside FF.

Welp, looks like I know what I’m doing while waiting for Starfield.

Somehow the model that Bing uses is extremely aggressive in gaslighting you. It would be funny if it wasn’t so reminiscent of some of the most abusive relationships I’ve seen irl…

This intrigued me so I tried asking some AI; and in typical AI fashion, they gave me very wrong answers very convincingly.

Gpt4 is convinced it was Vermeer’s “Art of Painting”, and gave a very verbose - but completely wrong - description of how the woman was directing the painter’s arm. The BingGPT version even gave me links… to websites with completely unrelated paintings.

Google bard insists it was Goya’s “The Double Portrait”, and gave a very detailed analysis and critique of the painting. It’s very convincing, except for the fact that I couldn’t find a painting by that name by Goya…

So I’m sorry I couldn’t be of much help. I just found the whole thing amusing.
